Martha-Irene Weed

Weed was hired based on a recommendation. Mistake. Emotionally provoking motions, inciting ex, over-charged, missed responses, didn't bill for 4 months. $20k spent for ruining my case, then withdrew when confronted. Cannot divide labor categories, so charges $400/hr for clerk/typist and paralegal wor...k. Avoid.

My negative experience is similar to others expressed in this forum. Ms. Weed decided to let opposing counsel draft the MSA and for more than five months Ms. Weed willfully refused to respond to the request of both myself and opposing counsel to return the amended MSA so it could be finalized. Oppos...ing Counsel waited from January 19, 2011 until June 7, 2011, exactly “the first half of 2011” for a response to his proposed MSA, but none was forthcoming from Martha-Irene Weed. To this day she has not returned the MSA. I proceeded on my own, caught costly errors she made in her first draft. Now she is stating she wants the fruit of litigation. Under no circumstances should she be retained or referred, especially where a military pension is involved.

Came highly recomended, however she is not at all as good as she was in the past. I lost a no brainer custody case and cost me BIG TIME with alot of evidence that I had on my side. We also were up against a ROOKIE attorney and a Drug Abusing Parent. She will not return your phone calls, keep you info...rmed, and she will in no time run up your bill with unnesesary charges. Be willing to get a 2nd mortgage on your house or sell all your personal property to just LOSE your case.
